Franck Kessié has had a difficult start to the season with FC Barcelona. The Ivorian has only played 272 minutes in his first ten games as a culé, but he trusts that the calendar will give him the opportunity to be the protagonist

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The midfield of the FC Barcelona of the 2022-23 has had an unusual competition regarding the last seasons. With exception of Pedri and Sergio Busquets, any of the six mediocetros blaugranas split with the titularity ensured and, one of them, went Franck Kessié. The first reinforcement culé for the present course arrived to 'cost zero' after three seasons in the AC Milan in where it won a stellar role, but in Catalonia his adaptation has been more complex.

As fifth man of the midfield behind 'Busi', Pedri, Gavi and Frenkie of Jong, to the marfileño has cost him add minutes and, when it has had the opportunity to be headline, his vehemence to recover balloons and add in attack have turned him into easy white for the cautions. No in vain, the one of Ouragahio great three yellow in his first six parties in LaLiga, with a record average of a caution each 52 minutes.

In principle, Kessié split by in front of Frenkie like variant for the centre of the field. However, the performances of one and another have done that Xavi Hernández decant , in this moment, by the Dutch like first option, more still when Busquets neither has had a good beginning of season. Franck is the player of the five main European leagues with but average of cautions and, in alone two months, equalised the quantity of yellow that saw in all the 2021-22 with the Milan.

Kessié Keeps his intact spirit

Further of the complex of his adaptation, the player of 25 years follows hammering in the trainings and his commitment with the Barça is total. Likewise, the mediocentro expects to have more leadership in the second stretch of the season, conscious of the wear that will suppose the World-wide for the staff, a tournament in which it will not participate because his selection did not attain to classify.

Of the same way, Xavi has Kessié and considers him a very important player in the staff, since with the exits of Nico González and Miralem Pjanic he is the most experienced variant for the medullary. The another option is Pablo Tower, whose participation up to now has been scarce because of his youth. For Franck, the main is to keep to tope physically to surrender to plenary when it touch him be and, the most important, adapt his game to the of the team without remaining so exposed to unnecessary infringements.
